The Uinta Basin Railway is the first greenfield railroad built in the United States in over 50 years. This 100-mile, $1.5 billion dollar project is also the first common-carrier freight transportation service to connect the Uintah Basin to the rest of Utah’s industrialized economy. While the scale and scope of this project is monumental, what is no less impressive is how the project came to be, leveraging the benefits of cooperative regional planning and public-private partnerships. These planning efforts and partnerships can offer both planners and government officials unique insight into large, complex infrastructure projects in the 21st Century.
